#### Entry Point
12. **`src/photo_tagger.py`**

    - `from gui_core import` → `from src.gui.gui_core import`
    - `from dashboard_gui import` → `from src.gui.dashboard_gui import`
    - Removed imports for archived GUI files

#### Launcher Created
13. **`run_dashboard.py`** (NEW)
    - Created launcher script that adds project root to Python path
    - Initializes all required dependencies (DatabaseManager, FaceProcessor, etc.)
    - Properly instantiates and runs DashboardGUI

---

## Running the Application

### Method 1: Using Launcher (Recommended)
```bash
# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run dashboard
python run_dashboard.py
```

### Method 2: Using Python Module
```bash
# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run as module
python -m src.gui.dashboard_gui
```

### Method 3: CLI Tool
```bash
# Activate virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Run CLI
python -m src.photo_tagger --help
```

## Import Pattern Reference

### Core Modules
```python
from src.core.config import DEFAULT_DB_PATH, ...
from src.core.database import DatabaseManager
from src.core.face_processing import FaceProcessor
from src.core.photo_management import PhotoManager
from src.core.tag_management import TagManager
from src.core.search_stats import SearchStats
```

### GUI Modules
```python
from src.gui.gui_core import GUICore
from src.gui.dashboard_gui import DashboardGUI
from src.gui.identify_panel import IdentifyPanel
from src.gui.auto_match_panel import AutoMatchPanel
from src.gui.modify_panel import ModifyPanel
from src.gui.tag_manager_panel import TagManagerPanel
```

### Utility Modules
```python
from src.utils.path_utils import normalize_path, validate_path_exists
```

---

## Verification Steps

### ✅ Completed
- [x] All core module imports updated
- [x] All GUI module imports updated
- [x] Entry point (photo_tagger.py) updated
- [x] Launcher script created
- [x] Dashboard tested and running

### 🔄 To Do
- [ ] Update test files (tests/*.py)
- [ ] Update demo scripts (demo.sh, run_deepface_gui.sh)
- [ ] Run full test suite
- [ ] Verify all panels work correctly
- [ ] Commit changes to git

---

## Known Issues & Solutions

### Issue: ModuleNotFoundError for 'src'
**Solution**: Use the launcher script `run_dashboard.py` which adds project root to path

### Issue: ImportError for PIL.ImageTk
**Solution**: Make sure to use the virtual environment:
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
pip install Pillow
```

### Issue: Relative imports not working
**Solution**: All imports now use absolute imports from `src.`

## File Structure After Fix

```
src/
├── core/              # All core imports work ✅
├── gui/               # All GUI imports work ✅
└── utils/             # Utils imports work ✅

Project Root:
├── run_dashboard.py   # Launcher script ✅
└── src/               # Package with proper imports ✅
```

---

## Next Steps

1. **Test All Functionality**
   ```bash
   source venv/bin/activate
   python run_dashboard.py
   ```

2. **Update Test Files**
   - Fix imports in `tests/*.py`
   - Run test suite

3. **Update Scripts**
   - Update `demo.sh`
   - Update `run_deepface_gui.sh`

4. **Commit Changes**
   ```bash
   git add .
   git commit -m "fix: update all import statements for new structure"
   git push
   ```
